A superb start to the new season. Despite such a low score to chase and defend, the match wasn't over until the 240th delivery was bowled. One to get, one ball left, and one wicket in hand; in the end, we had a winner, with Sandhu playing an all-round role. That's it from us today, but don't forget to join us again for the action tomorrow. See you!

Nathan: "Shouldn't the Thunder end up on 126. Might seem pedantic but could have NRR consequences (CA app has 123 as well for some reason)" --- That's because according to the laws, if the winning run(s) is completed before the ball reaches the boundary, then only the run(s) that was taken is counted

Walt: "First game of the season a humdinger? Check, check, check!"

Gurinder Sandhu is the Player of the Match: "Kind of had an idea what was coming. Judging by the field, I thought stay still, and watch the ball. A great game... The communication as a bowling group - and with Jason as captain - was really good."

Thunder squeeze home in a tense finish that many didn't see coming when Webster picked up two in two. Sandhu the hero. With the game slipping away, he hit a crucial six to level things up before that dramatic final ball sealed their win. Relief in the Thunder camp, all Zampa and the Stars can do is have a wry smile as they walk off. They can't believe this has slipped away from their grasp.

1 off 1. Are we going into a Super Over?
